Crossroads is one of the best RV resort campgrounds we have been to. Staff are polite and very helpful, resort is extremely clean, quiet, well maintained and secure. Lake City downtown has so much to offer with a Arts and historical background.
TravelerStayed for a week during ArtFields Competition. There is nothing about the campground that needs changed. Full hook-up, great wifi, clean like new bathrooms and free laundry. Trash is picked up every morning at the site. Gated grounds that is well maintained. There are some long term residents but everyone is quiet and polite. The train is quite loud, and the town is small and doesn't have a lot to do so it's the reason for 4 stars instead of 5. If your in town for a reason, then it's the perfect place...but just not a camping destination.

TravelerThis RV Resort has the largest sites around and also great amenities including pool, 4 pickle ball courts, clubhouse with large meeting room, full gym and very nice bathrooms . Full laundry and playground, dog park and more

The Farm has everything you need for a rv get away. We enjoyed the trees, privacy and friendliness of the owners! Multi generational campground that has some long term campers as well as camping by some working short term in the area. Super close to Lake Robinson.
TravelerVery nice campground. Lots of trees. Must have access to Shaw afb to stay. $20 per night. No long term prices. No stay limit.
Traveler5 of us on 4 motorcycles needed a place to stay for the night on the way to Myrtle Beach bike week. After you drive down a long sandy rutty road you come to the farm. A little oasis for the road weary. Mostly long term trailers are here but the do have tent camping. Nestled in the woods with sandy soil. Excellent rates. 25$ for the 5 of us and the best bathrooms ever!
Guide
Very nice concrete pads; large sites with fire pit, grill, and picnic table. Gravel roads have washed out areas but not terrible. Very open and quiet. Several long-term residents.
Guide
Large sites with full hook-ups. Lots of amenities on the premises, including a really good restaurant!

We love this campground because of the space. They have two. One is a bit more crowded. There are miles and miles of hiking. Even when the park is full, the trails are pretty empty. So much space! The only downside is not having sewer hookups but the dump station is convenient. Some of the outside loop “rv” spots are not really for rvs. They are very hilly and challenging even for our baby camper. If you have a large rv, you want a drive thru in the middle.
Guide
This place was just okay compared to other places. I mostly picked this place because online it states that it has a lot more to offer than it actually does, and there is ZERO privacy. Most of the sites are long term, we did get a waterfront site, but because people anchor their boats anywhere they please, this means people were driving their golf carts all over our campsite day and night, and parking their carts all over the back part of our site. Im talking 11pm parking directly outside our windows and talking. Not a fan. Also, the website states that they have a rec center, they don’t. It’s an empty building with no AC. No volley ball. Basketball court has seen better days. Restaurant is good but more expensive than I think it’s worth. One big redeeming factor is that the pool is awesome. Would I stay here again? Probably not.
TravelerCampground is located near very busy rail road. Trains go by every few hours and are very loud. There is no laundromat or gift store. You are not allowed to have a fire. Big sites, full hook up and reasonable prices. Campground is located in the same place where there is an event center. During our trip there was a wedding and the crowd was loud and it felt like we were camping in the parking lot of the Walmart. It is new campground and it is clean.
TravelerLovely campground, the office workers are very friendly. There are a few full timers there who are always friendly and helpful. Highly recommend this RV park.

We camped here March 6-10. The park is in Columbia SC, and is a great choice for families who may want to do things outside the park. The park is super close to the Riverbanks Zoo. We stayed during a rainy time, which was fine for us since we didn’t need to entertain kids that trip. The campground is pretty small, but average for an SC state park. There are a few “improved” sites with full hookups, but they are all pretty close together, and don’t have much privacy. We stayed in the 2nd loop, where the campsites were more spaced out, and had more trees. Most of the sites are sand, and not very level. A few have gravel and are level. Most sites would be really difficult for a larger trailer or motor home do the the size of the sites. The campground restrooms are the cleanest I’ve ever seen! The campground hosts were always checking and cleaning the sites and restrooms (We did go during the week, in March). The amenities are few, but would be super fun in summer. There’s a splash pad, and canoes, kayaks, and paddle boards to rent. There’s a very small lake, but no swimming is allowed. There are a couple of “hiking” trails that are more like nice walks. There’s also a bike trail that we didn’t check out.
TravelerWhen we came it had little to no amenities, but I really enjoyed the area and the RV park. This was my first park that had free laundry which was an absolute bonus. Hearing that bonus in the reviews made me a little apprehensive about how busy it would be, but I did laundry 3 times out of the week we stayed and I always had room to do my family’s laundry. Bathroom, showers, laundry was very clean. Internet was flawless coming from a family who works and does school full time online. No buffering at all. Only flaw was the train is extremely close and can be noisy, but after two nights almost didn’t notice it.
Traveler
Lots of sand and gnats and deerflys too. That’s the bad. About half the sites have full hookup some very large sites. Whole campground very wooded ( no Starlink here). About 3 bars cell with Verizon. Pretty neat campground with lots of history. The bugs are seasonal.

This spot is so close to I95 (look for exit 169) that you’ll both feel and hear the swoosh of passing by traffic 24/7. So, while you’ll incur ease and convenience, that will come at a cost (privacy and quietude being what you will sacrifice most). Located in the NE pocket of the Palmetto State, Florence RV Park, while not a destination per se, could be a nice (and incredibly easy) layover on your trip destination to anywhere else up or down this major east coast highway artery.
Despite the location, this spot has a lot to offer: an intimate little public pool behind the management office, WiFi hotspots, dog park, scattered picnic tables (in pretty good condition), kid’s playground, 20 / 30 / 50 amp hook-ups, dump station, dog walk area, catch & release fishing pond, propane refueling station, vending machines, small pond for fishing, basketball court, volleyball, badminton and horseshoe rings. There’s even 4-5 log cabins for rent at the front of the property (with full access to all the highway noise) and of course, good old fashioned on-site laundry facilities along with a mini-store that has most of the basics covered as well as fairly spartan shower / bathing facilities.
Insider’s tip? Here's a few: (1) The further east you are on the property, all the better as you’ll be positioned as far away from I95 traffic and noise; (2) If tent camping, I highly recommend spots #A7 – A13 and if you are RV’ing I recommend #L9 – L18 as well as any of the locations on J, K and F11 – F16; (3) There’s a lot to explore near here, from the Grand Strand of South Carolina, of course, Myrtle Beach and even Darlington Raceway, so if you don’t mind the overpopulated location with its westerly view of non-stop traffic, then this could be a good place to stop for the night or from which to launch your exploration of the area; (4) If you’ve looked at this RV campground’s website, don’t be fooled by the pictures – I don’t think any of them were actually taken of the place, save for the pond, and that was a close-up; and (5) If you are looking for a nearby spot to sample the local fare, I recommend checking out The Drive-In Restaurant with its 50s era nostalgia, big juicy burgers, fried everything, homemade onion rings and thick, creamy chocolate shakes.
Happy Camping!
TravelerStayed in a tent at tent site 3. Site was level and clean with water and electric, fire ring, and a picnic table. for $10 per night. There are also primitive tent sites as well for $5 per night. Lots of RV spots too! Bathhouse was cleans and has 2 showers and toilets on the mens and womens side. The office was closed before we arrived, but we were able to call on the phone to make a reservation. Seems like a few full time people in their RV. T mobile service worked well. Camp host was very friendly
ScoutThe campground was nice, the RV spaces had nice concrete pads and nice cabins. The roads had some serious potholes and the the campground doesn’t seem to be on a regular maintenance schedule but it was clean. There are a number of bugle calls that happen during the day on the speaker. All in all a nice campground and we would stay again.
GuideWeston Lakes is located at Fort Jackson, on the South Side of the Base.
It has a large recreation area with about 20 or 30 RV spots. I was in a spot that had the Hookups at opposite end of concrete pad and opposite side. I ended up buying an additional 20 ft. of dumping tubing ($60).
The area is very nice and somewhat quiet. But with all the other amenities there like boating, fishing, field sports, etc. they charge $35 a night. This is over 1K for a month with a three month maximum. You need to be either active or retired Military, which I was not. My Father was the Commander at Fort Jackson for 8+ years and he sponsored me so I could stay.
Once back in Columbia, SC after Thanksgiving I am moving to a park that is only $390 a month as I will be in Columbia for a while.
If money is no object then this would be a 4 star + rating. But not for me.

We chose this for our first trip in 2021. It’s a big grassy area and has full hookups. Nice little store. It is a great place for kids. They have several playgrounds for kids! It’s a bit out there and is 20 or so miles off I77 and the Columbia, SC area. I would say it’s average. I might go back.

This RV park is massive and has immediate access to water for your boat, kayak or canoe. Shortly after entering, you'll only need to continue due straight until you reach the double boat launch (extra points here for Rock Pond providing their own gas pump - and according to the fisherman I spoke with, they don't gauge you on the price of gasoline, which is nice for a change). Boat launch fee is $5. Nearby there's a tackle store for all your fishing needs - they also have basic toiletries and sundries in case you forgot something behind.
The park itself has plenty of shelters (but on holiday weekends, like when I was there, they book up fast, so if you're interested, call up early!), easy load-in and all of the amenities you would expect, including 30 / 50 amp hook ups, water and electrical lines. Theres tons of ancient Oaks dripping in Spanish moss along with area folklore and local spots that have tons of history. While the campground is open year-round, the store itself is closed between November 1 and March 1.
Let me tell you what I love most about this place. While I was there with a friend of mine and his young family, the place is perfect for kids - there's lots of places to go fishing, whether you are on a boat and want to venture further out, or don't want to leave land and just cast your line from one of the many points they have at this campground - there's a fishing pier, a dedicated fish pond and even a smaller pond that is just for the kiddos. How cool is that? And again, there's the big open Lake Marion itself, which is nothing short of fantastic. Beyond this, there's a small mini-golf course, a couple little playgrounds and recreation halls. The staff was friendly - nothing really short of fantastic and the security was top-notch.
A couple insider tips: 1) if you've got a boat and want to get out on the water, do it early before the long line takes you at least an hour of waiting; 2) bring earplugs - it can get somewhat noisy at night; 3) bring plenty of mosquito repellent (you're next to the water in the south, need I say more?); and 4) hit up JB Fishtales just a short jaunt down the way where they're serving up a whole of mischief, some incredibly awesomely bad karaoke (I just couldn't believe no one liked Ricky Martin out in these parts!) with some great whiskies and bourbons - Bonnie, thanks for not kicking me out on that last night!
Only downsides to this campground is that it is primarily for RV's with seemingly endless barren rows full of slanted parking spots. During the holiday weekend I was there, because there is not a whole lot of cover / shade / trees, noise carries and so it feels a little bit like camping out at Bonnaroo without all the A-list talent playing live. Other than this, you'll find this to be a pretty great place to get out on the water and lie beneath the stars.
Happy Camping!

This was our second time visiting “The Mountain”. We enjoyed Site 1B so much from our last visit we decided to reserve the same site again. There was some trash from previous campers littered around the site when we arrived. Please don’t be a litterbug! This is a terrific boondocking site and one of the few in the Midlands that is accessible for RV camping.
GuideThis place was well thought out when it was being built, lots of space, great level sites, nice dog park. Fitness center and laundry are new and nice.

This is a park on the East side of Lake Wateree. Not far off l-77. Has what you need. Full hookups picnic table and a fire pit. The owners are trying hard to improve the park. They have a security gate to keep passers by out. They have a nice deck near the boat ramp and have a little bar in the office. There are a lot of campers that stay there. I could tell the privet along and are friendly which is very important to us. I will Go back sometime. Also had better than average/strong Wi-Fi!

Having difficulty deciding between Lake Marion or Lake Moultrie? Well then, finding a spot here at Hills Landing and RV Park might just allow you to have the best of both world’s as this spot is perfectly situation between the two on a tributary of a slow-moving waterway dubbed Diversion Canal that connects the two. Located about 1.5 hour northwest of Charleston, you will find complete respite from the bustling developed world out here in these parts where there’s plenty of hiking, fishing and boating to be had. Here you’ll find newly graded pull-through spots and a very easy paved boat landing to maneuver around, along with a private dock, full-service restaurant(great breakfast, but the lunch/dinner menu is basically glorified bar food w/ burgers and wings) and a general store where they sell bait& tackle, gas, ice, snacks, sundries and all the other basics you would expect. There’s WiFi throughout the campground along with laundry facilities and a complete bath house that was being built up when I was there. The owners, Tony& Stephanie, are really great‘salt of the earth’ type of folks who definitely want to ensure your stay is amazing. Insider’s Tip? Here’s a few recommendations for enjoying yourself while at this property:(1) I would definitely recommend a drive to Charleston where you can visit some of the oldest and most well-preserved plantations in the entire South(along with the amazing culinary treasures you’ll discover);(2) Folly Beach for a slow-moving beach town(complete with a local, family-owned ice cream parlour) and;(3) Monck’s Corner, which is a nice day-trip to experience the amazing Cypress Gardens. My top recommendation? Stay put where you are at and enjoy the best of what Lakes Moultrie and Marion have to offer, especially the superb fishing, wherein you’ll be sure to catch striped bass, channel catfish and Bream– all of which are most excellently served grilled.
ScoutWe found this campground while traveling through Columbia SC and made a late evening reservation. We were able to reserve online and even pick our camping spot. It has full hookups and we were able to find the spot easily even in the dark. The owner called to make sure we had no questions and to explain where to pick up our packet. She was very nice and made us feel welcomed. It appears that they are a new campground and will have even more amenities soon. It was also very quiet. We will definitely be staying here on our subsequent trips through SC. I highly recommend this campground!
